Compare and contrast Copolymer Acetal and Dupont Delrin Homopolymer in Sheet and Rods

Dupont Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is easy to turn, but it requires slow speeds. I use this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from iPlastic. Smaller pieces always ship quickly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order.
Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly durable and easily machinable, and they have similar physical properties. They do look the same, but in practical use there are some differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the desired properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our choice material for machining,as it gives an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is critical. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and strength, giving it superb sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is especially valued in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it gained Food & Drug Administration approval along with its superb sliding abilities which help with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheet stock, perhaps the best of the plastics chosen within the automotive industry because of its long term dimensional stability and toughness. It delivers solutions for designers to help them create long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Tecaform AH is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or alter dimensions due to contact with water.
